"There's ...... Where? ”

"A prison for demon warriors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info," the girl said, shrugging her shoulders, "The Church hasn't done enough research on demons. Although there are many different varieties of demons, the only ones who have really reached the level of use are the 'producers'. Producers have lost their ability to live and must depend on humans to live, so they are willingly enslaved by humans. On the contrary, the church also wants to create some demonic warriors. In order to maintain combat effectiveness, these demons are not much different from wild demons. Although they have lived in this dark dungeon since birth, they still seem unruly. ”

"Anyone would want to use these dangerous creatures as warriors? Who is so mad? Brewster said in surprise, and then he reacted, "You just said the church, could it be that the Gemini Cult produced these alienated demons?" ”

"Isn't that normal?" The girl shrugged her shoulders, and she gently stroked her blonde hair with her fingers, "Hetty, you just saw it, isn't she the saint of the church?" It's not surprising that the church is involved. In addition, who else but the Church and the Starf Organization could conduct such a large-scale demon experiment? ”

Brewster was silent. It occurred to him that Alik had said that the Church had indeed experimented with demons. The case file found by Alec records experiments with poison hemlock to paralyze demons. Alec thought that the Church's experiments were gone here, but now it seems that these studies may have just gone underground, and are moving in a more inhumane and frightening direction. With so many demons imprisoned at the foot of the Holy City, no matter what, they can't escape from the Twin Churches.

"Did the demons I met come from here?" Brewster thought of the pretender, "I've encountered a lot of alienated demons. They must have come from here. ”

"Maybe the demon slipped through here." "After all, there are hundreds of demons locked up here, and it's unlikely that any imprisoning measures will be perfect. ”

"But it's because of these demons who ran out. How many villages have been destroyed and how many people have died?! Brewster said angrily, "Is it because of the 'demon warriors' produced by these churches? I've heard about the corruption of the church, but I didn't expect them to do such a thing! ”

"Aren't the people from the village outside nothing to you people in the Holy City?" The girl said sarcastically, "Just make up a story when the time comes." For example, the demon riot, or someone violated the precepts of the Cult of the Two Gods, so the people in that place lost the protection of the goddess, so they were attacked by demons. This will also exclude dissidents, so why not? ”

"How so!"

Brewster retorted, but he was suddenly stunned because he had a question in mind. If all this is the work of the Church, then it is impossible for their higher echelons not to know the reason for the appearance of demons near the Holy City. But why did Alik receive the task of "investigating the cause of the demon riot around the Holy City"? Obviously, the church knows about the alienated demons of the wanderers there, knows that this task is dangerous, and knows the real "reason".

- Do you think it's over, the bishop won't let him go easily? It can't be done on the surface, but the Bishop can let the fool knight do some dangerous tasks.

That evening, Church's words to Brewster echoed in his mind again. Knowing now, Brewster really understands the meaning of this sentence. Perhaps his father also knew about the Cult of the Twins raising demons, or perhaps he also knew that the bishop wanted to use the incident to kill Alik. Even Alik himself might have guessed that this was a mission from which he could not return. But they all chose to be submissive. Because Alik would not refuse a mission filmed by the church, and Church understood that.

Brewster suddenly felt dissipated.

Neither of them said anything more when they left. Brewster's face had been gloomy, and he had been completely disappointed with the Gemini for the first time. Brewster had always been a devout believer, and from the time he was baptized, he was watched by the church's huge twin statues. But he now felt that it was a defilement for them to have the incarnations of the twin goddesses stand in the midst of the Holy City. After returning to the original corridor, the girl carefully set the lamp on the wall, and all traces were hidden in the darkness. Brewster felt an indescribable chill, and at the same time, doubts rose in his heart.

"Why are you telling me this, and what is your purpose?"

"I just think you should know that. I tell you these information, believe it or not, how you use it, it's up to you in the end. The girl smiled and said, "But I'm sure you'll make the right choice." I believe that there will always be a central place in this world, and that is the starting point for changing history. Now, this location is in the Holy City. And you, too, are at a very critical juncture. Whether it's for this era or for your own life. ”

Brewster touched his head for some reason. He was just an ordinary knight, and although his father was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, most of the people in the Holy City knew that their father-son relationship was not very good. Brewster was self-aware, he knew that he didn't have Sulfona or Alik to fight, and certainly not as much as his father or Master Cook. To use Alik's words, it would be "immature". So Brewster didn't understand why the girl thought so highly of herself. However, the other party's sworn tone made Brewster have new doubts.

"You...... Who the hell is it? ”

The other party looked like a young girl, and he was not very old in terms of wording, why was he able to sneak into the underground of the watchtower with Brewster so confidently. Seeing so many demons gathered together again, doesn't her face change, is she stronger than Hetty? Brewster quickly rejected the idea, as he understood that the girl's bearing did not come from strength. It's as if Brewster had read a lot of accounts of fanatics in the church papers, and Brewster thought the girl was very much like them. She believed in something, but it could be a belief or a thought, and it had nothing to do with religion.

"I'm just a changemaker." The girl didn't dode Brewster's question again this time, "I think you're the one I need—or one of my kind." So I would like to invite you to join this wave of change. ”

"Change?" Brewster asked, confused.

"That's right, the world is boring right now. Don't you think so? The girl shrugged her shoulders and said, "People have no motivation in their lives, and they feel happy every day that they are not eaten by demons, and then they put their extra energy into worshipping your twin goddesses. What is the use of such a world? There are no new ideas, no new wisdom, no new culture. Life is no different now than it was a hundred years ago, as if the whole world is in a stalemate. ”

"So, you're trying to solve the demon problem?" Brewster frowned and asked, "We've been threatened by demons for so many years, why do you think you can destroy them?" It's too arrogant. ”

"It's not about destroying demons, it's about awakening...... Devil. The girl smiled inexplicably, "Don't you think the life of a demon is too boring?" Obviously, he is far superior to humans in terms of military force, and he may not be worse than humans in terms of intelligence. But these guys actually put their power to killing, and their wits to disguise and deceive. I think that although these producers are controlled by people, their lives are much more meaningful than wild demons. Demons also die, and if they remember that they once built such a great city, they will die with a smile on their faces. ”

Brewster felt a chill welling up in his body. He suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing from the girl. Maybe it's an attempt, or a sense of self-identity as a human being, or a basic moral bottom line. Brewster only now understands that the other party may just be a monster in human skin. The values held by the girl are contrary to Brewster's.

"You, what are you talking about?"

"Don't you think it's a pity? Demons are obviously a better species than humans, so why should they hide and live among people? I think the demons are still in an 'uncivilized' state. It's like a wild dog out there and a hunting dog trained by a hunter. Hounds are as intelligent and fierce as wild dogs, but wild dogs do not understand human commands and language. If demons can learn from human culture and try to create it, I think they will be able to create a more brilliant civilization. "If there is a demon who can be worth the labor of a hundred men, then it makes sense to kill ninety people for it, isn't it?" ”

"No, you must be crazy!" Brewster frowned and said, "Why do you think like that?" Could it be that when you become a half-demon, you forget your memories of being human? Human lives are precious, and you can't use them as a weight to play your little calculations. ”

"It's a shame that's what I thought when I was a human." "Don't you sometimes wonder why some people in clothes look like beasts?" Looking at those fat-headed and big-eared moths, as well as the nobles who pride themselves on their own nobility, don't you think it's a very shameful thing to be in the company of these people? On the contrary, the demon is a little simpler. As long as their basic desires are satisfied, they will be quiet and obedient. ”

Brewster was silent. If he had heard this a few days ago, he might have retorted it. But when he witnessed Hetty's cultivation of demons and the ugliness of the church hiding filth, Brewster had changed his mind. But that doesn't mean he wants to trust this strange girl. The experience of these days has made Brewster more sensitive. Maybe this girl is also a demon, or maybe Hetty below is also a pretender.

Brewster couldn't tell.

"I'll try to find the answer in my own way. I'll act like I haven't seen you, and I'll act like I don't know about these things. Until I was convinced that I saw the truth. ”

"As you wish, no one will interfere with your thoughts." The girl nodded and said, "But remember that you are now at the center of a storm of change. Any decision you make may have a lot of implications. As for yourself, if you're not careful, you'll be torn to pieces by the storm. ”

“……”

"I know you must think I'm crazy, but I'm looking forward to your awakening. Change is unstoppable, and no one can escape it. If you figure it out, we can have cooperation. All you need is to memorize the pattern, it's my mark. ”

As the girl spoke, her deep slender fingers gently sketched a figure on the wall. Her excessively white fingers contrasted sharply with the pitch-black walls, the fuel she had previously dipped in the wick left a faint mark on the walls. When she finished writing, she waved her hand, and the flame from the oil lamp on the wall was partly separated by her hand and splashed on the wall. The pattern written by the girl before was on fire. Brewster was stunned by the magical scene, between which golden flames walked on the walls, outlining the scales of rumors. It's just that the balance is inverted, which looks a little weird.

"How did you do that? It's like magic! ”

Brewster asked, but there was only darkness behind him, and the girl disappeared as if she were hallucinating. Brewster was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the wall. The flame pattern on the wall gradually died out, and everything returned to normal. Brewster stood alone in the dimly lit hallway, everything seemed to be just an unrealistic dream for him.
